Sorry, this is silly long!
I will give a back story to try not drip feed. DP and I have been together around 3 yrs. I am bipolar-when he met me he didn't believe in mental illness and yet became the most amazing support when I had a massive 6 month major depressive episode. He's stuck by me manic too. I know that should technically be a given if you get with someone knowing their condition, he had never known anything like it though and I was particularly bad.
I have a very nearly 5yo dd, he met her 10 months after we started seeing each other. He is amazing with her.
We got pregnant 9 months ago and after discussions were going to keep the baby, however I miscarried during the first trimester.
We have been saving for a mortgage, he already has one but it's a tiny bachelor pad and his pension as he's self employed. I have moved back in with parents for saving.
We had a chat about our future house yesterday and he sounded withdrawn, I asked why and he said he has doubts.We decided we should split up because of this.
I am heartbroken, I am aware 3 years isn't long-I aren't a silly little girl being sad about a first love, I've just never split up with someone when we both still live each other before and aren't sure how to deal with it.

Why do you think you want there to be bad feelings?

It seems a bit hasty to split because of some doubts. People sometimes get low or need to re-think future plans, but if you have a good relationship otherwise, then splitting up seems a little excessive. Maybe things will sort themselves out over a few days?
